There’s a segment of the Lake County area population that’s not committed to proper vehicle maintenance.
Now, the ignition system in your vehicle is electronic and controlled by the engine management computer. Spark plugs rarely get fouled and will last for as much as 100,000 miles. So tune-ups used to force you in to Kraken Automotive for service, and while you were there you just took care of whatever else was on the list.
Also, in recent years, a large percentage of new vehicles in Lake County have been leased. These folks plan on turning the vehicle in after two or three years, so they haven’t focused on the maintenance that helps a vehicle last longer. Given all that, what’s the benefit to keeping up with factory scheduled maintenance? Well, your vehicle will perform better and return better fuel economy.
The big plus is that major repairs are prevented. And these aren’t just repairs that are a long way off. Modern vehicle engines are far more sophisticated and have many parts that are in critical need of proper lubrication. Missing just one oil change can allow oil sludge to start forming. Sludge clogs passages, robbing parts of the lubrication needed. An expensive failure could easily occur within two or three years.
Modern engines require more sophisticated fluids. Because of the different types of materials that are used to make auto parts, things like aluminum, plastics and steel, different additives are required to protect automotive components from corrosion. These additives deplete with time as well as with use. Taking care of little things now prevents big problems later. At Kraken Automotive, we take care of those little things. Your vehicle needs to be taken care of. The need for proper maintenance in Lake County drivers vehicles did not go away.
